They Were Right

Maybe for the reason that before I even said the words aloud, “I want to write a book one day” I knew this would be my journey.

And in sticking close to my book writing friends, I’d observed that those who both write books and maintain blogs (like this one) always took a complete time out when their deadline to their editor neared. (Like mine is now!)

These friends would post messages saying: “Shut down. Coming back in 3 months.”

As I’d read these posts (as devoted readers of their work), I wondered why all the drama? How can you not do both? Why aren’t you disciplined enough to allocate time for all the unique parts of their writing life?
